Wild nature just minutes from Puerto Villamil

Las Tintoreras is one of the most popular tours in Isabela and a must-do for marine life lovers. This small island, located just off the port, is home to an incredible channel of crystal-clear water where whitetip reef sharks (locally known as tintoreras) rest, along with sea turtles, rays, and hundreds of tropical fish.

During this tour, you’ll also discover volcanic formations, colonies of marine iguanas, coastal birds like blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds, and even Galápagos penguins if you’re lucky. All of this in a perfect half-day experience!
